The journal was founded in 1993 by Irene Heim and Angelika Kratzer, who served as its first editors-in-chief. It was founded in order to provide a venue for research that integrates formal semantics with other branches of linguistics, in contrast to previously established journals that emphasized connections to logic and philosophy of language.[4][3] In particular, NLS grew to be the central venue for the then-emerging study of crosslinguistic variation and typology within formal semantics.[5] The journal played a crucial role in establishing formal semantics as a core area within theoretical linguistics.[4][3]
